check out my doom wad, I've been working on it for 4 years and I don't know how I want armor to work yet. Also the chaingun is getting buffed in 6 months so I've gone ahead and removed it from the game so people don't have fun in the wrong way.

So they decided to have it based on racial armors that a particular race could start with, but other races could find the blueprints for eventually. This was scrapped and now apparently Novakids just glow and nobody else gets anything cool.

It helps further the idea that "Things could have been cool, but gently caress YOU IM TIY"

i don't care if nobody does anything cool and novakids glow. they're cool. maybe the bird people should be able to jump a little higher/glide on holding space i guess. and the fish people should be able to breathe underwater. they could all have that and it wouldn't matter to me if they rest didn't get anything

not having any meaningful differences between the different species is loving lame. give the birds power armor that lets them fly. give humans increased bartering capability or something. give the novakids cool different weapons. let everyone build different guns based on their species and loot/buy the others off of NPCs goddamn it

I had the highest their armor on a robot person, it looked cool.

There was a stupid grind to get it that was running desert planets only mining the sand At the top because mining sucks.

THAT is still in, you can still get all of the different armor sets. What never made it in was the different racial armor sets having special abilities.

Figured that, that sounded like a retarded amount of extra work and planning to a game still in development. The different look was all that mattered to me.

stuff like "temporary flight based on equipment" is stuff that is already actually in the game on other stuff so it'd actually be remarkably easy. stuff like number tweaks(eg faster ground speed) would be even easier

Only the Novakids are allowed to have special features. They get guns and also a new change was just added so they act as their own light source in the dark.

yeah, its sorta stupid that all other classes are melee. imo all classes should have access to at least one ranged weapon type. novakids get pistols, monkeys get shotguns etc

When the early access or whatever version of the game came out, I found a sweetass bone mace that exploded when it hit things, sending exploding bones all over the place. It was great for mining and exploding monsters that would otherwise kill me in a hit.

It was a cool weapon back from a time when I still had hopes and dreams.

Almost everyone has a story about that exact weapon. In retrospect, for being a game that claimed to have so many different potential combinations of weapons and traits, it was a bit of a warning sign.

yeah but you don't understand this space game needs you to start out as a caveman and work on making fire and hitting things with picks so you can simulate the experience of flying across the galaxy and exploring space

I like the three paths of tech you get access to. That's a neat idea. But I feel like everything before that point should be sorta condensed and everything after that point expanded much more. Give us more awesome poo poo and less lame crap.

There always has been, it's called "matter manipulator the chest until it drops as an item and shits out everything inside it" :v:

They probably implemented it by accident but then saw it and thought "oh no, this makes the game more fun, better patch it out", like the fast sand mining and ore thing.

The brilliance of my posting illuminates the forums like a jar of shining gold when all around is dark
Sand mining, more than anything, makes me sad for what we could have had. Due to an unintended interaction between blocks and characters in our game, resource collection on a sandy planet is fun and fast-paced and literally unlike any other games' (generally boring slow grindy) resource collection! Better get rid of that poo poo pronto!

Sand mining was lame, you had to do it because mining sucked rear end hard core. you pick was way way way way too slow.
